More to Love: The Community Tent, The GoDaddy Pro Tent, and What’s Scheduled Inside Each

Our sponsors have each come up with their own unique and creative lineup to add to the educational and festive atmosphere in the community tent.

And finding it is so simple!

When you login, you’ll be “standing” inside our Main Gate with the virtual festival laid out before you, represented by four squares, one for each region. Each square contains everything that’s available for the region:

• All four stages
• The community tent
• The GoDaddy Pro tent

as well the word “Live” to indicate which region is currently active.

All you have to do is pick where you want to go, click the name, and you’re in. You can wander in and out of sessions and tents as much as you want without anyone knowing you left. 

Speaking of privacy, as you approach a table — found inside the tents — you’ll be able to see who’s there before choosing to join. Simply click the link to join, click the link to leave when you’re done, and if you want to spin up your own table with friends, you can do that, too.

If you’re looking to network, here’s where you’ll find our best iteration of the Hallway Track.

The community tent is open and constant across all four regions. In it, you’ll find the conversation tables as well as sponsors tables and events, much like a wordcamp or any other conference.

Similar to those other conferences, you can walk up to any of the tables and join, after seeing who’s there already, or decide to create your own conversations. Innovative global networking in action!

Now that you know a little more about how the tents and tables work, let’s get back to what our sponsors are putting IN them, starting where the festival kicks off with the Oceania region.

Oceania

To kick us off, the Community tent is a little quieter leaving plenty of room to get a feel for the venue and reconnect with friends. Make sure to wander in and see what the sponsors are talking about at their tables, get personal help with any questions you have, and chat with any attendees there.

Who knows, you might make a new friend or find that business contact you’ve been looking for. Maybe both!

GoDaddy Pro, as a Global Partner, will also have events happening in their tent, kicking off in Oceania and running through all of the regions. Those will be listed below.
